You can check the Name Property of the Win32_Processor WMI class

Try this C# sample

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Management;
using System.Text;

namespace GetWMI_Info
{
    class Program
    {


        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                string ComputerName = "localhost";
                ManagementScope Scope;                
                Scope = new ManagementScope(String.Format("\\\\{0}\\root\\CIMV2", ComputerName), null);
                Scope.Connect();
                ObjectQuery Query = new ObjectQuery("SELECT Name FROM Win32_Processor");
                ManagementObjectSearcher Searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(Scope, Query);
                foreach (ManagementObject WmiObject in Searcher.Get())
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("{0}",WmiObject["Name"]);                     
                }
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Exception {0} Trace {1}",e.Message,e.StackTrace));
            }
            Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to exit");
            Console.Read();
        }
    }
}
